Since he was not supposed to let it be brought in the sun but also not in the shade, he directed the man to tie the pot onto the point of a stick and to cover it with a thin garment.

The plural Mannen is now rare and somewhat poetic. It usually means a group of men, often soldiers, under the command or leadership of someone: Cäsars Mannen ("Caesar's men"). It is sometimes heard in sports jargon: die Mannen von Trainer XY ("coach XY's men"). The singular Mann is sometimes used after numbers. It means "men" (and may also include women) as a measure for the size or strength of a group rather than as individuals: Mit drei Mann können wir den Schrank heben – "With three people we can lift the cupboard." Military or police personnel, team members, demonstrators and the like are often counted using this singular. Using the singular for quantities can also be done with other units, such as weight, length, money, etc. Compare the use of singular for quantity also in English in adjective phrases, such as "a ten kilometer race" or "a five dollar bill". This singular Mann is not the same as the obsolete unchanged plural Mann, which was inherited from Old and Middle High German, and was used through the Early New High German period. ==== Declension ==== ==== Antonyms ==== (antonym(s) of “man (male human), by gender”): Frau f, Männin f (antonym(s) of “man (male human), by age”): Junge m, Knabe m, Bube m, Bub m (chiefly Swiss and Austrian) ==== Hyponyms ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “Mann”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) “Mann” in Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm, 16 vols., Leipzig 1854–1961. “Mann (Person, Gatte, Anrede)” in Duden online “Mann (Schriftsteller)” in Duden online “Mann” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “Mann” in OpenThesaurus.de Mann on the German Wikipedia.Wikipedia de == Hunsrik == === Etymology === From Middle High German man, from Old High German man, from Proto-West Germanic *mann, from Proto-Germanic *mann-, from Proto-Indo-European *mon-.
